Car Accidents in Utah
Across Utah, roadway accidents continue to be one of the leading causes of injury and economic hardship. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, there are tens of thousands of collisions each year, many involving injuries requiring long-term medical care. Areas like South Ogden, where highways intersect with city streets, are particularly susceptible to crashes caused by lane changes, merging, or high speeds.
Crashes often leave victims facing a wide range of legal and practical challenges. Here’s what you need to know about dealing with insurance after an accident:
- Delayed Claims Processing: Insurance companies often drag their feet after an accident, especially when injuries are involved. This can delay medical reimbursements and vehicle repairs, leaving victims without the help they need right away.
- Denied or Reduced Claims: Insurers may try to deny liability or downplay injuries to avoid full payouts. They might use your own words against you or interpret medical records in their favor. An attorney can help push back against these tactics.
- Disputes Over Fault: Insurance companies may claim you were partially or entirely at fault, even if another driver clearly caused the crash. Establishing fault is critical, and it often requires witness statements, photos, and legal intervention.
- Medical Bill Confusion: Many victims are unsure who should be paying medical bills—their health insurance, auto insurance, or the other driver’s provider. Without legal guidance, it’s easy to miss coverage or end up paying out of pocket.
- Low Settlement Offers: Soon after a crash, insurance adjusters may offer a quick settlement that’s far below what your claim is worth. Signing too early can prevent you from recovering for future medical costs or long-term injuries.
